Is 70 nave the United States build the
bridge, and fo- this purpose the bill ap-
propriates 100000 for a beginning, but
h projectors admit that they can not
say what would be the full cost Of the
bridge. Captain T. w. Symons. OF the en-
gineer corps, has devoted himself 10 the
project. and with the assistance Of Messrs.
smith. Meyer and PeItx. architects. has
prepared a very attractive sketch OF the
proposed structure. The roadway Of the
bridge proper is supported on steel
arches. springing JUST above high-water
line, from granite piers. The arch form
Is adopted - being the most beautiful
and graceful and the most suitable 70

These arch spans vary in width. being "A
feet next the central towers and 80 feet
toward the shores The arches will be
made Of steel tubes after the manner Of

mental character is given TO the bridge
chiefly BY its two central piers and the
towers arising therefrom. The piers
will be 100 feet apart in the clear.
and between them is the draw span for
the passage Of sailing vessels. when

and back into recesses provided i'm the

bic. in their general design, the character
of General Grant The towers are pierced
for the roadway by an archway equal 70 II

height From the bridge. therefore. these
towers will nave the appearance Of tri-
umphal arches OF magnificent proportions.
Above ard about these arches and
empIaced upon the towers are TO
be suitable allegorical designs and in
scriptious. Provisions will be made also
for the emplacement Of emoria stones
or other objects which may be dedicated
for the purpose 20 the memory Of General
Grant or in commemorative Of the rcstora-
